The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s coming up for Jaconé over the next couple of weeks. First thing – it’s going to be a quiet start. The next few days are flat or just junk, so don’t even bother paddling out until Saturday morning the 25th of July. That’s where things finally wake up.
Water temp is sitting at 72°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing weird there.
The first real standout is Saturday morning the 25th at Jaconé. We’ve got a 4ft southerly swell pushing in with a 9-second period and a solid 264 combined energy – moderate but punchy. The wind goes glassy, NW at 3 mph, so it’s going to be clean and smooth. This is a good one for intermediate surfers, not too big, not too small. Just watch out – it can get crowded sometimes.
Sunday morning the 26th brings a bigger 3ft southerly groundswell with a very long 14-second period and 570 combined energy – that’s strong wave energy. The swell direction is straight southerly, and the wind is light S at 3 mph, cross-on, so a bit of texture. That long period means the waves will have shape and power, but at a beach break like Jaconé, it might be a bit too straight – reefs or points would handle it better. Still, it’s surfable.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are tidy too – clean mornings with offshore NE wind, 3ft and 2ft southerly swells, periods around 12 seconds. Good energy in the 350 and 265 range. These are clean, fun days, but nothing huge.
Then we hit a bit of a lull from Wednesday the 29th through to the end of July. Waves drop to 2ft, period drops, energy drops – it’s ordinary but surfable. Not worth a special trip.
The real standout of the whole outlook is Saturday morning the 1st of August. Jaconé gets a 6ft easterly swell, 8-second period, 577 combined energy – that’s strong energy. Wind is offshore from the NE at 6 mph, clean. That’s going to be a solid, punchy day. It’s a bit big for beginners – over 5ft – but for intermediates and up, that’s the best on offer. It’s a week and a bit away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.
After that, Sunday the 2nd gets messy with strong WSW winds, and the following week is mostly choppy or onshore with moderate energy. There’s a glimmer on Friday morning the 7th of August – 3ft southerly, 11 seconds, 299 energy, offshore NE wind at 6 mph clean. That’s a nice, clean option to finish the run.
Overall, the best windows are Saturday 25th July morning and Saturday 1st August morning. The rest is a mix of small, clean, or windy. Stay patient.
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
